Family Breakfast #13: Budget-Friendly Egg Cups

This addition to our Family Breakfast Project lineup is inspired by the work of dietitians Julie Shoemaker and Ashlyn Housewright from Memorial Hospital in Carthage, Illinois. Julie and Ashlyn worked to create affordable recipes for low-income families, using ingredients exclusively purchased at the Dollar Store.

You can make their Breakfast Egg Cups ahead of time and just reheat for a quick, filling breakfast. We’re pairing the egg cups with a relaxing breathing exercise to help everyone feel calm and centered for the day ahead, plus conversation starters about self-care and keeping your cool.

This Week’s Family Breakfast: Food

You could vary these egg cups with different ingredients if you prefer. Try different combinations of meats, cheeses, and vegetables to find your family’s favorite!
